START-UP CYCLE
The self diagnostic ABS start up cycle begins when
the ignition switch is turned to the on position. Elec-
trical checks are completed on ABS components, such
as the Controller, solenoid continuity, and the system
relay operation. During this check the Amber ABS
Warning Light is turned on for approximately 4 sec-
onds and the brake pedal may emit a popping sound
and move slightly when the solenoid valves are
checked.
DRIVE-OFF CYCLE
Further Functional testing is accomplished once
the vehicle is set in motion and reaches a speed of
about 20 kph (12 mph.). This cycle is performed only
once after each ignition on/off cycle.
²The pump/motor is activated briefly to verify
function. When the pump/motor is activated a whirl-
ing or buzzing sound may be heard by the driver,
which is normal when the pump/motor is running.
²The wheel speed sensor output is verified to be
within the correct operating range.
ONGOING TESTS
Other tests are performed on a continuous basis.
These include checks for solenoid continuity, wheel
speed sensor continuity and wheel speed sensor out-
put.
ABS DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES
Diagnostic trouble codes (DTC) are kept in the con-
troller's memory until either erased by the technician
using the DRB or erased automatically after 3500
miles. DTC's are retained by the controller even if
the ignition is turned off or the battery is discon-
nected. More than one DTC can be stored at a time.
The mileage of the most recent occurrence, number of
occurrences and the DTC that was stored is also dis-
played. Most functions of the CAB and the ABS sys-
tem can be accessed by the technician for testing and
diagnostic purposes by using the DRB.
LATCHING VERSUS NON-LATCHING
DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES
Some DTC's detected by the CAB are latching; the
DTC is latched and ABS braking is disabled until the
ignition switch is reset. Thus ABS braking is non
operational even if the original DTC has disappeared.
Other DTC's are non-latching; any warning lights
that are turned on, are only turned on as long as the
DTC condition exists. As soon as the condition goes
away, the ABS Warning Light is turned off, although
a DTC will be set in most cases.
INTERMITTENT DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES
As with virtually any electronic system, intermit-
tent electrical problems in the ABS system may be
difficult to accurately diagnose.
Most intermittent electrical problems are caused
by faulty electrical connections or wiring. When an
intermittent fault is encountered, check suspect cir-
cuits for:
A visual inspection for loose, disconnected, or mis-
routed wires should be done before attempting to
diagnose or service the ITT Teves Mark 20 antilock
brake system. A visual inspection will eliminate
unnecessary testing and diagnostics time. A thorough
visual inspection will include the following compo-
nents and areas of the vehicle.
(1) Inspect fuses in the power distribution center
(PDC) and the wiring junction block. Verify that all
fuses are fully inserted into the PDC and wring junc-
tion block. A label on the underside of the PDC cover
identifies the locations of the ABS fuses in the PDC.
(2) Inspect the 25-way electrical connector at the
CAB for damage, spread or backed-out wiring termi-
nals. Verify that the 25-way connector is fully
inserted in the socket on the CAB. Be sure that wires
are not stretched tight or pulled out of the connector.
(3) Verify that all the wheel speed sensor connec-
tions are secure.
(4) Poor mating of connector halves or terminals
not fully seated in the connector body.
(5) Improperly formed or damaged terminals. All
connector terminals in a suspect circuit should be
carefully reformed to increase contact tension.
(6) Poor terminal to wire connection. This requires
removing the terminal from the connector body to
inspect.
(7) Pin presence in the connector assembly
(8) Proper ground connections. Check all ground
connections for signs of corrosion, tight fasteners, or
other potential defects. Refer to wiring diagram man-
ual for ground locations.
(9) Problems with main power sources of the vehi-
cle. Inspect battery, generator, ignition circuits and
other related relays and fuses.
(10) If a visual check does not find the cause of the
problem, operate the car in an attempt to duplicate
the condition and record the trouble code.
(11) Most failures of the ABS system will disable
ABS function for the entire ignition cycle even if the
fault clears before key-off. There are some failure
conditions, however, which will allow ABS operation
to resume during the ignition cycle in which a failure
occurred if the failure conditions are no longer
present. The following conditions may result in inter-
mittent illumination of the ABS Warning Lamp. All
other failures will cause the lamp to remain on until
the ignition switch is turned off. Circuits involving

use. Refer to Causes of Battery Discharging in this
Group for more information.
NOTE: CLEAR COLOR = Replace Battery
WARNING: DO NOT CHARGE, ASSIST BOOST,
LOAD TEST, OR ADD WATER TO THE BATTERY
WHEN CLEAR COLOR DOT IS VISIBLE. PERSONAL
INJURY MAY OCCUR.
A clear color dot shows electrolyte level in battery
is below the test indicator (Fig. 1). Water cannot be
added to a maintenance free battery. The battery
must be replaced. A low electrolyte level may be
caused by an over charging condition. Refer to Gen-
erator Test Procedures on Vehicle.
CAUSES OF BATTERY DISCHARGING
It is normal to have a small 5 to 25 milliamperes
continuous electrical draw from the battery. This
draw will take place with the ignition in the OFF
position, and the courtesy, dome, storage compart-
ments, and engine compartment lights OFF. The con-
tinuous draw is due to various electronic features or
accessories that require electrical current with the
ignition OFF to function properly. When a vehicle is
not used over an extended period of approximately 20
days the IOD fuse should be pulled. The fuse is
located in the power distribution center. Disconnec-
tion of this fuse will reduce the level of battery dis-
charge. Refer to Battery Diagnosis and Testing table
and to the proper procedures.
ABNORMAL BATTERY DISCHARGING
²Corroded battery posts, cables or terminals.
²Loose or worn generator drive belt.
²Electrical loads that exceed the output of the
charging system due to equipment or accessories
installed after delivery.
²Slow driving speeds in heavy traffic conditions
or prolonged idling with high-amperage electrical
systems in use.²Defective electrical circuit or component causing
excess Ignition Off Draw (IOD). Refer to Battery
Ignition Off Draw (IOD).
²Defective charging system.
²Defective battery.
BATTERY IGNITION OFF DRAW (IOD)
High current draw on the battery with the ignition
OFF will discharge a battery. After a dead battery is
serviced the vehicle Ignition Off Draw (IOD) should
be checked. Determine if a high current draw condi-
tion exists first check the vehicle with a test lamp.
(1) Verify that all electrical accessories are OFF.
²Remove key from ignition switch
²Turn off all lights
²Liftgate and glove box door is closed
²Sun visor vanity lights are OFF
²All doors are closed
²Allow the Illuminated Entry System to time out
in approximately 30 seconds, if equipped.
²During Transmission Control Module (TCM)
power down there will be 500 milliamperes present
for 20 minutes. Afterwards less than 1.0 milliampere.
(2) Disconnect battery negative cable (Fig. 4).
CAUTION: Always disconnect the meter before
opening a door.
(3) Using an multimeter, that has least a milliam-
pere range of 200 mA. Set meter to the highest mA
range. Install meter between the battery negative
cable and battery negative post (Fig. 5). Carefully
remove the test lamp without disconnecting the
meter. After all modules time-out the total vehicle
IOD should be less than 25 milliamperes. If ignition
off draw is more than 25 milliamperes go to Step 4.
(4) Each time the test lamp or milliampere meter
is disconnected and connected, all electronic timer
functions will be activated for approximately one
minute. The Body Control Module (BCM) ignition off
draw can reach 90 milliamperes.
(5) Remove the PDC fuses:
²Interior lamps
²Brake lamp
²IOD
(6) If there is any reading, with fuses removed
there is a short circuit in the wiring. Refer to Group
8W, wiring diagrams. If reading is less than 25 mA
go to Step 8.
(7) Install all fuses. After installing fuse, the cur-
rent can reach 90 mA. After time-out the reading
should not exceed 25 mA. If OK go to. If not, discon-
nect:

hydrometer reading. Always correct the specific grav-
ity for temperature variation. Test the specific grav-
ity of the electrolyte in each battery cell. Refer to the
information with the Hydrometer.
Example 1:
²Hydrometer reading: 1.260
²Electrolyte temperature: -7ÉC (20ÉF)
²Subtract specific gravity: -0.019
²Correction specific gravity: 1.241
Example 2:
²Hydrometer reading: 1.225
²Electrolyte temperature: -38ÉC (100ÉF)
²Add specific gravity: +0.013
²Correction specific gravity: 1.238
A fully charged relatively new battery has a spe-
cific gravity reading of 1.285 plus 0.015 or minus
0.010.
If the specific gravity of all cells is above 1.235, but
variation between cells is more than 50 points
(0.050), it is an indication that the battery is unser-
viceable.
If the specific gravity of one or more cells is less
than 1.235, recharge the battery at a rate of approx-
imately 5 amperes. Continue charging until three
consecutive specific gravity tests, taken at one-hour
intervals, are constant.
If the cell specific gravity variation is more than 50
points (0.050) at the end of the charge period, replace
the battery.When the specific gravity of all cells is above 1.235
and variation between cells is less than 50 points
(0.050), the battery may be tested under heavy load.

CLEANING AND INSPECTION
HEADLAMP CLEANING
This vehicle is equipped with plastic headlights
that are lighter and less susceptible to stone break-
age than glass headlights.
This plastic is not as scratch resistant as glass and
therefore a different lens cleaning procedures must
be followed.
To minimize the possibility of scratching the lenses
and reducing light output, avoid wiping with a dry
cloth. To remove road dirt, wash with a mild soap
solution followed by rinsing with water.
Do not use abrasive cleaning components, solvents,
steel wool or other aggressive material to clean the
lenses.

connection. If OK, replace BCM for tone condition.
DOME LAMP ON CHIME
The dome lamp on chime will warn the driver that
the dome lamps have been left on.
With the ignition is OFF:
²Driver's door OPEN (door ajar switch is closed to
ground)
²Dome lamps are ON (dome lamp switch is closed
to ground),
The chime will sound continuously until driver's
door is closed, dome lamps tuned OFF or until the
battery protection time out of 15 minutes has
expired. Refer Group 8L, Lamps proper procedures.
Chime rate: 168 to 192 chimes per minute.
ENGINE TEMPERATURE CRITICAL CHIME
The engine temperature critical chime will warn
the driver that the vehicle's engine is overheating.
While monitoring the coolant temperature, the Pow-
ertrain Control Module (PCM) will send on the CCD
bus as engine temperature every 1.376 seconds to the
Body Control Module (BCM). The BCM calculates
engine temperature and determines if a warning
should occur. This feature is functional only with the
Ignition Switch in the Run/Start position.
When the engine temperature reaches 122ÉC
(252ÉF) the BCM will chime one tone and the engine
temperature lamp comes ON. The BCM turns OFF
the lamp when the engine temperature reaches
117ÉC (242ÉF). The BCM will chime continuously
when the engine temperature reaches 125ÉC (257ÉF).
The chime will turn OFF after four minutes or when
the temperature reaches 117ÉC (242ÉF), which ever
occurs first.
EXTERIOR LAMPS ON CHIME
The exterior lamp on chime will warn the driver
that the exterior lights have been left on.
With the ignition switch OFF:
²Driver's door is open (door ajar switch is closed
to ground)
²Parking lamps or headlamps ON (parking lamp
switch is closed to ground)
The chime will sound until lights are turned OFF,
driver's door closed or until the battery protection
time out of 3 minutes has expired.
Refer to Group 8L, Lamps, for proper service pro-
cedures. Chime rate: 168 to 192 chimes per minute.
To test the exterior lamps left on function:
²Turn ignition off
²Remove ignition key
²Turn exterior lamps on with driver's door open.
Chime should sound until lamps are turned off or
driver's door is closed.
KEY-IN IGNITION CHIME
The key-in ignition chime will act as a warning to
the driver that the ignition key has been left in the
ignition switch.
With the ignition switch is in OFF position ONLY:
²Driver's door is open/ajar (door ajar switch is
closed to ground)
²Key is in the ignition switch (key-in ignition
switch is closed to ground)
The chime will sound until one of the above condi-
tions is removed. Chime rate: 168 to 192 chimes per
minute.
To test the key-in ignition function, insert key into
the ignition and open driver's door. Do not turn igni-
tion ON. Chime should sound until key is removed
from ignition or driver's door is closed.
LOW OIL PRESSURE CHIME OPERATION
The low oil pressure chime will warn the driver
that the engine oil pressure is low. The oil pressure
switch, will close to ground during a low oil pressure
condition. The oil pressure lamp will illuminate in
the message center. The body control module will
monitor the oil pressure switch and signal a low oil
pressure condition. A continuous four minute warn-
ing chime will sound and the oil pressure lamp will
come ON when the following conditions are met:
²Ignition on and engine not cranking
²Engine running at 420 to 480 rpm for 10 sec-
onds
²Oil pressure switch closed to ground for (1 sec-
ond minimum, 2 seconds maximum)
Chime rate: 168 to 192 chimes per minute.
SEAT BELT CHIME
The seat belt chime will sound for 4 to 8 seconds,
when the ignition is turned on and the driver's seat
belt is not buckled (seat belt switch is closed to
ground). This is a reminder to the driver to buckle
the seat belt. The seat belt lamp is controlled by the
mechanical instrument cluster. The cluster will also
illuminate the seat belt warning lamp for 6 seconds.
Buckling the driver's seat belt before the time out
has expired will cause the chime to stop immediately.
Chime rate: 38 to 62 chimes per minute.
To test the seat belt warning system, the ignition
switch must be in the OFF position for 1 minute
before starting the test. Turn the ignition switch to
the on position with the driver's seat belt not buck-
led. The seat belt warning lamp should light and the
chime should sound 4 to 8 seconds.
SEAT BELT LAMP
The seat belt lamp in the instrument cluster sig-
nals the vehicle passengers to fasten their seat belts.
The seat belt lamp is illuminated directly by the

FASTEN SEAT BELT LAMP OR TONE
CONTINUES FOR MORE THAN 10 SECONDS
AFTER SEAT BELTS ARE FASTENED AND
DRIVER'S DOOR IS CLOSED.
(1) Check left door ajar switch for no ground when
switch is depressed.
(a) If continuity replace door ajar switch.
(b) If NO continuity replace BCM for tone condi-
tion, or replace mechanical instrument panel for
lamp condition.
(c) Replace BCM for tone condition.
(d) Replace mechanical instrument cluster for
lamp condition.
NO TONE WHEN PARK OR HEADLAMPS ARE
ON AND DRIVER'S DOOR IS OPEN.
(1) Check left door ajar switch for good ground
when driver's door is open. Repair as necessary.
(2) Inspect BCM connectors and wires for proper
connection. If OK, replace BCM for tone condition.
DOME LAMP ON CHIME
The dome lamp on chime will warn the driver that
the dome lamps have been left on.
With the ignition is OFF:
²Driver's door OPEN (door ajar switch is closed to
ground)
²Dome lamps are ON (dome lamp switch is closed
to ground),
The chime will sound continuously until driver's
door is closed, dome lamps tuned OFF or until the
battery protection time out of 15 minutes has
expired. Refer Group 8L, Lamps proper procedures.
Chime rate: 168 to 192 chimes per minute.
ENGINE TEMPERATURE CRITICAL CHIME
The engine temperature critical chime will warn
the driver that the vehicle's engine is overheating.
While monitoring the coolant temperature, the Pow-
ertrain Control Module (PCM) will send on the CCD
bus as engine temperature every 1.376 seconds to the
Body Control Module (BCM). The BCM calculates
engine temperature and determines if a warning
should occur. This feature is functional only with the
Ignition Switch in the Run/Start position. On the
Diesel vehicles, the coolant temperature sensor is
read directly by the BCM.
When the engine temperature reaches 122ÉC
(252ÉF) or the diesel engine 112ÉC (234ÉF), the BCM
will chime one tone and the engine temperature lamp
comes ON. The BCM turns OFF the lamp when the
engine temperature reaches 117ÉC (242ÉF) or the die-
sel engine 108ÉC (226ÉF). The BCM will chime con-
tinuously when the engine temperature reaches
125ÉC (257ÉF) or diesel engine 116ÉC (241ÉF). The
chime will turn OFF after four minutes or when thetemperature reaches 117ÉC (242ÉF) or diesel engine
108ÉC (226ÉF), which ever occurs first.
EXTERIOR LAMPS ON CHIME
The exterior lamp on chime will warn the driver
that the exterior lights have been left on.
With the ignition switch OFF:
²Driver's door is open (door ajar switch is closed
to ground)
²Parking lamps or headlamps ON (parking lamp
switch is closed to ground)
The chime will sound until lights are turned OFF,
driver's door closed or until the battery protection
time out of 3 minutes has expired.
Refer to Group 8L, Lamps, for proper service pro-
cedures. Chime rate: 168 to 192 chimes per minute.
To test the exterior lamps left on function:
²Turn ignition off
²Remove ignition key
²Turn exterior lamps on with driver's door open.
Chime should sound until lamps are turned off or
driver's door is closed.
KEY-IN IGNITION CHIME
The key-in ignition chime will act as a warning to
the driver that the ignition key has been left in the
ignition switch.
With the ignition switch is in OFF position ONLY:
²Driver's door is open/ajar (door ajar switch is
closed to ground)
²Key is in the ignition switch (key-in ignition
switch is closed to ground)
The chime will sound until one of the above condi-
tions is removed. Chime rate: 168 to 192 chimes per
minute.
To test the key-in ignition function, insert key into
the ignition and open driver's door. Do not turn igni-
tion ON. Chime should sound until key is removed
from ignition or driver's door is closed.
LOW OIL PRESSURE CHIME OPERATION
The low oil pressure chime will warn the driver
that the engine oil pressure is low. The oil pressure
switch, will close to ground during a low oil pressure
condition. The oil pressure lamp will illuminate in
the message center. The body control module will
monitor the oil pressure switch and signal a low oil
pressure condition. A continuous four minute warn-
ing chime will sound and the oil pressure lamp will
come ON when the following conditions are met:
²Ignition on and engine not cranking
²Engine running at 420 to 480 rpm for 10 sec-
onds
²Oil pressure switch closed to ground for (1 sec-
ond minimum, 2 seconds maximum)
Chime rate: 168 to 192 chimes per minute.
